“Quinn will be disappointed, you’re invited to hers next month.”
Sky. So very Sky. God, I love this woman. I wrap Sky’s hair around my hand and pull her closer, lips touching hers. “Shush”
“If you need time alone, that’s okay, but I should check on Rhys.” She moves back and attempts to stand.
I grip her legs. “Stay.”
“Dylan, no—” ‘No’ won’t work here. I thread fingers through her hair, and our lips crash together like waves, washing over and pulling us away from the people outside.
The significance of here, the place Sky finally gave into the inevitable that night, hangs between us, and I pull her leg over me so she straddles my lap.
“Buttons.” I grin and flick open the first on her dress, above the swell of her breasts.
She catches my hand. “No.”
“Aww, be fair. I’ve kept my hands off you all day.”
“And you can manage a bit longer.” Her stern tone doesn’t fool either of us.
“I love you, summer Sky,” I whisper and move my hands to the buttons again. Our eyes meet, and I can’t look away, caught in the intensity going beyond my words. “I wrote you another song.”
Her eyes widen. “When?”
“Recently. It’s not finished yet.” I hold her face in my hands. “I’ll always write you songs, so you’ll live forever in the world the way you do in my heart.”
Sky’s eyes soften, and she moves in to kiss me again. “I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have you in my life.”
“Yeah, you are.” I smile as she pokes her tongue into her cheek.
“You won’t always be rock-god Dylan Morgan, you know.”
“Wanna bet?”
Sky rests her forehead on mine, and my heart races towards hers as she slides her arms around my waist. “I know you’ll always be Dylan Morgan, but you’ll also always be my man from the sea, the one who nobody else knows.”
“And that, summer Sky, is why I love you.”
I hold Sky to me, encompassing her in my arms, the way her love surrounds and holds me to the bright world she shares with me. A split second brought us together and our colliding lives blew everything I thought I knew about love and life into pieces. Amongst those pieces, I found a part I never realised was missing. Sky, the woman my heart saw and told me she’s the one.
From the first kiss, her soul whispered to mine. In that moment, time paused and those first few days together hidden from the world felt like an eternity. The eternity with her I always wanted; the one I have in my arms now.
